I feel like Elle Fanning would be perfect as Meira in SLA if/when it becomes a movie.
Does anyone else agree with me on this? *holds up SLA to hit you with if you disagree* … *sets it down if you have a better idea*

I'm surprised your publisher didn't take advantage of major snowstorm season and release the books in WINTER. Unless, of course, you're in a different hemisphere. Even then, the U.S fall season is nobody's Winter. ;)
Well, they come out just *before* winter here (US), so that allows for a nice transition into the snowy season!
Book 3 will deal more with the Autumn Kingdom, so that book will definitely fit the fall release date!
Hi! Loved Snow Like Ashes & can't wait for book 2! I wanted to ask though, if you don't mind, how do you keep track of your worlds? I'm writing my first fantasy and the world building has me incredibly paranoid. What if I said an area looks one way the
Ahhhh world building!
Okay, so, I could talk about world building for like way too freaking long. I’d bore you to tears. Luckily, I did a YouTube video wherein I very very briefly went over the general outline of questions I go through every time I start a new book. You can watch that here.
As far as keeping it all straight: I know a lot of people use Scrivener buuuuuuut I’m still one of the holdouts who uses Word. So I keep LOTS of lists – excel spreadsheets, word docs, etc. So many lists. I have lists for character physical descriptions/names/histories/families/traits; world details/countries/cities/cultures; anything and everything. Because, yeah, it gets very intimidating keeping it all straight, and I’ve learned the hard way not to rely on memory. Don’t expect yourself to remember it all! There’s no harm at all in creating references, as many as you need.
